    This book is great but one must have enough knowledge to comprehend that some of the information here is pseudoscientific, especially the understanding of cellular biology.

    A superbe translation of the french doctor/author, of "L'Homme cet Inconnu" published in 1935. I highly recommend it as stimulating intellectual philosophical reading, which I do not always agree with, but find totally worthy of everyone's attention.
